Wow. another long blogging hiatus...

I've been to MAX in Chicago and spent a week in Arizona with the guys at Amkor. Traveling is its own sort of disorientation. and as always the first week back is absolutely crazy too. That. of course. culminated in the now legendary Young Alumni Reunion. Needless to say yesterday became a true day of rest!

We're working at about 200% right now. As with any heavy dev cycle. it's both good and bad. Good in that we're busy. which is good for any business. but bad because we haven't made the time to scheme and experiment like we used to. Gotta break that cycle fast before it becomes normal.

Project-wise. Matt's been cranking on a big. important Flex system for one of our newest clients while also handling the annual review of the ARAMP survey for PCUAD. Oh. yeah...and he also spends at least 10% of his time cursing Flex. Flex Builder or Subversion for a wide variety of reasons. Personally. I'm hoping that Flex 3 brings that number down a touch.

I've been doing my first project that uses Coldspring for Amkor (CF/Ajax workflow app). wrapping up the first release of our Flex-based online community for Lehigh. and coordinating numerous upgrade projects for three of our currently deployed applications. Oh. and drafting what feels like a solid stream of proposals for some VERY interesting projects next year.

We've grown our portfolio to the point that we have solid. proven systems ready to sell (RecruitWeb and the EMS are just two) and ambitious plans for bringing some segments together for some novel new products. The online community will be a crucial component of that. so we can't wait to get it launched.

All of that points to the need for some new staff in the near future. It's time to grow (as companies should). but I have a feeling the next move won't be just one more person. Much more on our plans here another time. Back to work!
